First off, thank you for sharing this animation pack the quality looks great and itās exactly the kind of motion I was hoping to incorporate into my project.
Iām currently working in Unreal Engine 5.3 and using your animations with a custom character (a sniper wearing a ghillie suit). Iāve been following the standard IK Retargeting workflow using the UE5 IK Rig and Retargeter system. Iāve successfully created IK rigs and retarget chains, and the retargeter does complete without error. However, the final result has my character rotated sideways or upside down, and offset several feet above the ground in the retargeted animation.
Before continuing to troubleshoot further, I wanted to ask:
Are there any setup guidelines or documentation available for retargeting your pack?
Do your animations assume a specific T-pose or root orientation?
Is there anything you recommend (bone settings, root rotation, etc.) when retargeting to custom skeletal meshes?
Hi! Thanks a lot!
As I understand, your character is using the UE5 mannequin skeleton, right? If yes, have you tried using the IK Rigs and IK Retargeters for the UE4 and UE5 skeletons that already come with the Epicās Third Person Template? You just need to add these rigs to your project and then do as I show in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5i_L2AqDBA
If your character uses the UE4 skeleton you can have both your character and mine share the same skeleton file (no duplicate skeletons) and then open this skeleton and set the retargeting options as follows:
Activate āShow Retargeting Optionsā here:
Then change each boneās setting as follows:
(this is from Animation Retargeting in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Epic Developer Community )
Then the animations can be used for both characters as the engine will make adjustments as best it canā¦
